A great day, perfect weather-wise and a bit of fun had today. The cruise ship docked about 4km our of the main "old town" area and we had a tour up the cable car, then buggy riding, then a stroll around the fortified town.

Great views from the top and the buggy riding was a bit of an adventure. Trouble was it was very dirty and we all returned covered in a fine red dust. (Ahhh! My white shorts had only just come back from the laundry and they were filthy again). As well as that, I did my usual trick of falling over, loose gravel on a slope, and scraped my arm and cut my hand as I grabbed a thorny shrub on the way down. Nothing more serious hurt.... except my pride. Brad just shakes his head at me - not very sympathetic, is he! At least I got to have a drive as well.

Back down in the old town it struck me as very clean, no litter, no graffiti and yet it was only around 25 years ago that this area was involved in war as the former Yugoslavia was breaking down into the smaller nations like Croatia, Bosnia, Slovakia, Slovinia etc. There are the usual souvenir shops etc. Also lots of cats wandering the streets. We will be visiting Dubrovnik again next week so we will walk the walls and explore the town then.Read more

The ferry to Dubrovnik was pretty cool. We sat in a room that looked like a movie theatre and it took 3 hours to get there. Our travel routine is pretty simple, I'll watch Netflix, play games on my phone or read and Zoe will nap.

When we got to Dubrovnik, we had some lunch, did our groceries for the next three days and then found our Airbnb.

After making dinner (I cut up a whole chicken with the worst knife in the world so I'm pretty proud), we went on a hike to see the sunset and all of Dubrovnik. It took us about an hour the get to the top, but the view was totally worth it. The sunset was gorgeous and there were wild horses.

Zoe and I then walked around and I sat and looked at the view for twenty minutes. Instead of walking around where we last were together, Zoe decided that I had walked off and spent that twenty minutes looking for me apparently.

We then had to walk down the hiking trail to get back and we realized half way down that we probably should have taken the cart as it was pitch black and it was all rock. Anyways, we made it alive and our calves will feel it all tomorrow.Read more
